Dear Miss Tibbetts: 
% 
/ 
I thank you for your letter of Febrmry 17, and hasten to 
send you the enclosed draft to clear up the indebtedness 
Cem-arren indicates. I have paid several of their bills for 
the one shipment and felt I ■was clear with the world, but I 
like the firm, and feel there is no need for me to check over 
my accounts at this late date. Thank you for offering to take 
care of the bill in advance. 
I am greatly indebted to you, Mr. McGregor, and Bob lost, 
who perhaps was your predecessor. I shall never be able to pay 
the great personal debt I owe the CoiBulate and its staff, both 
before, during, and after our recent Belgian Congo Expediticn . 
Some day I hope I can show all of you the moving picture film 
that survived either faulty loading or a faulty camera. An 
altogether too large a portion of our film was badly fogged, yet 
we have something over 3,000 feet that makes a VOTy interesting 
chronological pictorial account of our journeys. I am telling 
you this so that you might pass it on to Mr. McGregor. I know 
he is interested to learn how we made out with the film. It 
was at a great personal sacidfice that he got it over for us. 
I have been so busy of late that I have been unable to meet up 
with Bob Yost. ^s. Schmitt and I went one Sunday, but he hap- 
pened to be out, so we left a note on the front door. The reason 
for ity busy- ness is our fojrfchcoming trip to the West Indies. We 
are leaving March 1 for Trinidad to work back through the islands 
to St, Thomas in the ensuing two months. It will be quite differ- 
ent from the African expedition. This time we are going ty motor 
cruiser with a five-passenger automobile, wi-th every seat occupied. 
Thank you again for your offer of help.
